NIMBY Yuppies Stealthily "Disappearing" Tacky Public Trash Cans?

photo-by-vito-fun-viceland.com-issue-v11n6.jpgsje writes in the Prospect Heights Message Boards: “Has anyone else noticed that the wire garbage baskets, usually on every corner, or at least every other corner, are disappearing in Prospect Heights? Is the city trying to save money?”

“If you own dogs like I do, it gets mighty old carrying a bag of stinking fresh shit around for 4 or 5 blocks trying to find a can to throw it in. I don’t like putting it in people’s personal trash cans in front of their houses, but I frequently have no choice.”

“I mostly walk them on Underhill, which is especially barren. What’s going on? How can we get them back? 311?”

daisyh adds: “I’ve been thinking the same thing in Park Slope. There is exactly one public trash can between Flatbush and Union along 6th! What’s the deal? I have a sneaking suspicion that the residents have something to do with it – the cans are too tacky, too declassé for the beautiful Slope…”
